I'm not sure what making torque early in the RPM range has to do with the compressive strength of a connecting rod. I know Jarrett offers that same warning concerning torque at low RPM, but if you've seen what his timing table looks like, its very clear why he's concerned about bending rods. I know Banish talks about this in one of his books/dvds. If the goal is maximizing torque output and keeping the engine alive, timing at peak torque should reflect the higher air mass (read: lower than at peak power). Its all in the tune...
youre better off shooting for power from 6-7300 then having lower range when cresting the 1000rwhp mark
regardless of what books tell you or etc, when making something live at these power levels that was never intended to do so. you need to do things differently then what engineers and books tell you. Real world experience has more heart here then what a book says from a person or persons who havent done it

That pass the shift points were set at 6000. Maybe it was making max torque at 6k? I dunno it's never been dynoed. Either way thanks for the info and I will take into consideration on the next motor. Definitely gonna lean it out some and lower the timing table to get things going. I want longevity now. I'm happy with 10s and I don't need to go any faster....
richen her up to 11.4 target and watch the MPH roll out, youll get alot more time out of a stocker doing so or any built motor
11.7 on E85 is dangerous IMHO unless your talking single digit boost numbers
only give it timing that the plugs tell you otherwise youll be here posting up how you broke another motor
i have a LY6 living with over a 1000rwhp for this whole past season with around 50 track passes all shifting at 7100-7300 and crossing traps from 7300 to 7500
that's what we thought

its not the early torque its the torque on the shifts that will spit a rod. when cranking boost up on stock rods you will need to give up torque in order to make them survive.
